There seems little to comfort any Party , though Labour's failure to recapture a seat they won in 2012 must be surely indicative of their failure to win a seat after nearly ten years of a Tory government .

So the visit of Leanne and Adam Price made no difference.
They should have asked Neil McEvoy how to run a successful campaign in Cardiff.
